What a great Matrix. I always like to hear a bit of the crowd to get a feel for what it was like to be there. This is 2 plus years before my first 2 shows
...
(Alpine Aug 7&8/82). Had an Audience of this show back in the day. I too disagree with the negative set list comments. So many great moments. I always love a good Playin’ jam & this one heads into face melting territory by the time it’s done!!! This was a good time period for Drums & Space as evidenced by both the drums & space here! The crescendo on Truckin is tight as f#*k. Can you imagine rolling out of this show dosed to the tits into the 24 hour daylight of an Alaska Summer Solstice? I still like to dabble in shrooms (albeit it rarely) and when I do, this show is on tap for sure!!!

Some people have noted that the setlist is not full of standout songs and I too have felt the bitter sting of going to a show and wishing they would have
...
played a song I had on my mind or that I could tick off the bucket list. However, we all know that sometimes the metric for a great show is not the setlist but the setting and level of playing which is more unpredictable than trying to sit in meditation in a bouncy castle full of five year olds.
Hands down this is my favorite Sugaree. It is beautiful, mildly raunchy and you get so many solos.
Great thanks to whoever put this matrix together. I am so thankful for the opportunity to hear the flavor of the venue and get the clarity of the sbd.
I think this is a show where the band is playing tight and the value of Brent on the keyboards in particular is so energizing and beautiful and raunchy as well as his back up vocals. See Samson and Delilah for what Brent brings. I may also be partial to Dead Set which was also the only live recording that feels matrixy and edited to make the band seem even tighter than they ever really were while keeping the energy and beauty of their soloing. I always love hearing Big Railroad Blues and I think Supplication is always a joy to hear when its played well. I look forward to spending more time with the Terrapin and "take the test". Plus, Brokedown Palace is really one of the best encores if you like ending on a more thoughtful or emotional note. Brokedown is such a beautiful heartbreak.
If anyone knows of Sugarees they like more I would love to hear what they have to say but like so many things it may come down to personal preference versus any deadheads coming to any kind of consensus.

A fun show that sounds great. The audience noise just makes it sound like you're there... so much fun.
Everyone is right about the show's solstice energy ... but I'm surprised nobody mentioned the Stella Blue — but then again, it's a personal favorite. Honestly, Jer's muse rides him all the way... so melodic. Coltrane and Miles Davis have nothing on this man. It's performance art at it's best. We are so lucky.

I have enjoyed SoundBoard versions of this show since '85 or '86, XLII, then discs, then streaming. This is the first time I've sampled the Matrix, never
...
having been too impressed with the aud over the "bright" SB. All I can say is that this is a sweet upgrade in that the bass register and the echo effect of Jerry's phasing is enhanced in this blended capture. For some reason, the Sugaree, here, has made an impression on me (along with JGB 3-1-80) such that this is THE Sugaree sound when I think of the song. Yes, there are jammier versions, nastier versions, sweeter versions, smoother versions. It's a certain je ne sais quoi which makes these 1980 versions the template. Maybe it's because they're the Sugarees I cut my teeth on. More than likely, it's the fact that they explore all the sounds and effects available with the (then) new Alembic set up, allowing Jer to push through each tone in his palette. In short, this sets the tone for an extra-ordinary show in an extra-ordinary context. Ah, had I been old enough, I would have been grateful to have ridden the Grey Rabbit all the way to Anchorage. Those lucky few were lucky souls, indeed. Remember the context, and you have nothing short of pure, alchemical magic!

I've only heard through Samson, but what a ripping version of that song! Right up there with my favorite versions of Spring '90!
The first set begins ... with some spacey sounds on stage. 15 more second of tape would have revealed Brent making some trippy synth effects into the Sugaree. Someone, maybe Bob, is out of tune, or is it the pitch of the various sources? Either I got used to it, or else it gets corrected pretty quick
Jerry plays this show with precision and depth. Once again, ripping Samson! Can't wait to hear the rest.

Hey Gus-
FYI,Alaska was not the 50th state inducted into these United States of America, rather it was Hawaii.
Some historical facts you may, or may ... not, wish to consider:
Alaska State #49 Admitted to the union on Jan. 3, 1959.
Hawaii State #50 Admitted to the union on Aug. 21, 1959.
Just setting the record straight. Awesome show.
Love the matrix technology...

What the hell happened to this recording of Sugaree? It sounds like it's in monologue until 48 or 49 seconds in and then it abruptly changes to a better

quality recording. At the risk of being labeled a purist recording snob, with all due respect, this specific recording at the beginning of Sugaree is horrible. There are better copies of this show floating around. I'm blown away by the amount of people who rated this recording five stars. Really? Five stars? Man, I'd love to have y'all listen to some of my soundboards and first-generation tapes ... those who say this archive recording is considered the best there is. Maybe the majority of us who taped are dead, judging by the number of heads who rated this recording five stars. I'm flabbergasted.

Hey this show sounds great! How come its available only in streaming format?
Why does the little player above only allow playing one song at a time? ... The combination of the two makes listening to this concert a bit limited
I really like the 60/40 sbd/aud blend. I don't necessarily care about hearing people screaming but the ambiance of the room is really important to a live sound.

There's a lot to love about this show. Starting out with a SMOKIN' Sugaree (and I'm not even a huge fan of that song)that has to rank among the best ever,

followed by a funky minglewood that just grooves along, and then a very nice candyman... what a way to begin a show.
The loser is also a real treat, despite that song being somewhat spoiled for me forever by 03-24-90... impossible to live up to that standard.
Lazy lightning and Samson are both on point, but to me the highlight of the second set is the TERRAPIN! exquisite.
and for some reason, brent seems to really shine here. I never really notice or appreciate the keys as much as I should (my ears tend to want to follow Phil and Jerry more often than not), but many times during this show I found myself being captivated by Brent.
this one ranks as one of my favorite shows on the archive, but i've only been listening to these shows for a year or so (i'm a new generation deadhead) so take that compliment with a grain of salt.
Probably the main reason why I'm currently infatuated with this show has to do with the quality of the matrix... GREAT JOB GUYS!! These matrices always transcend me to another space in time! keep em coming, it's the closest thing us young folk are ever going to get to actually seeing the boys in concert.

As many of you reading this I have been to and heard hundreds and hundreds of Dead shows, but I have to say this one really gets my attention.
I am trying ... to find fault with this show and I just can't, from the setlist to the performance it gets 5 stars. Why don't they put this out as the next vault show? Instead they put out the July, 7,89 Philly show that I actually listened to twice (had to give it a 2nd chance) and then I put it on the shelf in my collection forever. That release is the first that I didn't load to my i-tunes.
This Alaska show isn't just the best of the run or one of the bext of 1980, IMHO it is one of the best I have heard all time and I'm not big on passing out praise like that.
The recording is also great.

Classic 1980 show. How did i miss this one until now?
The Matrix is well-done, to say the least. I have not heard the pure board, but i'd imagine this ... being a rare occasion (Alaska Dead Run?!) that the crowd energy is a worthy inclusion. Usually i like the crispness of the pure SBD, but this matrix has all the proper audience noise, and it never annoys.
Stellar Terrapin>Playin'. Jerry's vocals on Terrapin are sublimely perfect. It almost sounds studio nice. Very tender rendition with a nice instrumental follow through. Playin' jam is intense and gets spacey towards the end with over 10 minutes of post-lyrics jamming. Good stuff! I had heard the night before, but i have to agree this one is the topper of the two Alaska shows i have heard. DLing night 1 right now.... Thanks!!
